"The Lord has given me the grace never to fear the conflict, to do my duty no matter what the cost."
--St. Therese of Lisiuex
The Second Vatican Council defines abortion, together with infanticide, as an "unspeakable crime." Gaudium et Spes, 59.
"Given such a grave situation, we need now more than ever to have the courage to look the truth in the eye and to call things by their proper name without yielding to convenient compromises or to the temptation of self-deception...procured abortion is the deliberate and direct killing, by whatever means it is carried out, of a human being in the initial phase of his or her existence, extending from conception to birth."--Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae, p. 95.
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness."
--Is., 5:20
On this Feast Day of St. Joseph let us pray to be the light in the darkness...
